Give me your top 10 most likely

hahaha I had to say non home win because Syracuse didn't play any true road games in the nonconference. I was actually trying to make your neutral court situation as close to our true road games as i could. but thanks for reminding me of that, slapdick!

yeah cuz we are syracuse ==> every game for us is "not a true road game for us"

announcers saying that for the BC game cuz there were "lets go orange" chants.

can't blame us for our well traveling fanbase......

IMO our nova win > than your SDSU win and there is nothing you can argue to say otherwise

 

[john01992]

But it doesn't count when AZ beat Duke at the Garden when Duke was ranked #6 (at the time)?

Just checking to find out where the argument shifts.

you guys may call me a lot of things but one thing that I am not is a hypocrite. zona should get credit for that because it was a big game on the big stage at the time.

Baylor's schedule was awful, other than 'Cuse and, to a lesser extent, Kentucky.

Kentucky? Really?

Are you talking about who they scheduled or who they played?

	PSR	AToG	Current
[b]UK[/b]	
MSU	2	2	4
BU	25	20	12
UNC	12	18	NR
UofL	3	6	18



[b]SU[/b]
BU	25	18	12
Nova	NR	8	6


[b]BU[/b]
SU	8	8	2
UK	1	3	13

I'm not sure they belong in that conversation.

i wouldn't argue that at all.

but it's actually because I looked at your schedule and saw that you played one true road game, at st johns. it has nothing to do with fans traveling, and everything to do with YOU DID NOT PLAY IN THE HOME ARENA OF ANY TEAM BESIDES ST JOHNS AND THAT WAS AT MSG NOT THEIR HOME COURT

and again I ask......

what is the relevance of that?

duke didnt do that either

wisky did it once but against a scrub school
osu did but but only because the game was postponed from a neutral court date from last year

it is the most ridiculous & pointless thing to measure. only in your world does playing a top opponent at home > playing a scrub team in their arena. coaches can prepare their team in anyway they please. by no means do we have an inexperienced coach & by no means do we have an inexperienced team. for schools like zona, duke, & uk who depend on freshman that would be a somewhat relevant point. but we are syracuse a team who has only 2 players in our rotation who did not see playing time last year.

All you've done though has been to talk shit about us beating Duke, because (and I'll paraphrase) "it doesn't mean shit now that they are losing to everyone". Or did you forget about all of that?

nah id surely did not say "they are losing to everyone."

the only trash talk i have dished out on the issue is "your quality wins are going down the toilet" (which is true)

so, same as us? Yup same as us. Unless you consider a Redshirt junior who, during his transfer year, practiced every day with the team as being one of those types of players then we have three.

so, why make a point like that? oh because you probably know nothing about any team besides your own and rely on espn stats for the rest of your college basketball knowledge.

but not as quickly as your baylor quality win.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I really can't believe people think Kentucky has a shot to win the National Championship this year.....

 

[CatsTopPac]

You wrote, "and the duke game gets worse & worse"

But that wouldn't be accurate if it was a big game on a big stage at the time, right?

Because if that's not the case, the that Baylor victory is getting worse and worse!!!!

and our players have 2 elite 8s and a final four in the past 2 years

#experience

yeah sorry but theres no way you can argue that SU is not complete simply because "they don't have the experience of playing at someone else's arena OOC" pleeeaaaaasssssseeeeeeeee

even if that was a valid point (which i am not saying it is) its thr freaking ACC ==> where every conference road game is an arena we have never played in.

3 tourney appearances in two years!?! Now I see how amazing you guys are, thanks.

I have never once argued that you are an incomplete team, so.....SLAPDICK

kentucky ABSOLUTELY has a shot. Have you seen how much better they are now than they were to start out the season?

wow your reading comprehension sucks. sucks ass.

go and reread what i said cuz i was very....very.....VERY clear that i said it was a FACTOR and "has an impact".

so for dummies like you the translation is ==> it matters, but is not the complete picture.

if duke continues to lose it continues to look like less & less of a quality win, because THEY ARE LOSING.

why do i feel like i am trying to teach music to the deaf?

well either way, you think their scheduling is incomplete because they don't have enough games at other teams arena's.

jeez ==> don't know your own argument?

wow you really are that dumb.........

Everybody has a shot......

But Kentucky will be lucky to get past the 2nd round. They probably won't get past the 2nd round, in fact.
